Monsters

Guardian

[!quote] First Sparks Today, I cast an illusion no one could see through. Father called it child’s play — a trick for fairs and fools. But when I showed him the wolf at the window and watched the blood drain from his face, I knew: there is power in belief.

Even without substance, fear is real.

[!quote] The Dance of Triggers Why rely on an audience’s gaze? Why perform for them when I can weave cause and effect into the very fabric of a place? I have found a method to bind illusions to events — a sound, a footstep, a heartbeat. They spring to life when I command them, like faithful servants awaiting their cue. I call it a “programmed illusion.”

The Blade Remembers

As the party crests the mountaintop, the light of the Feywild’s eternal midday sun cascades across the landscape. It’s unlike any sunlight Skreek has felt—pure, golden, weightless, yet brimming with life and ancient purpose. As the First Kiss of the Midday Sun begins to coalesce in the air above the peak, Skreek feels an almost magnetic pull to his pack.
